    An Event Morality Question

    This upcoming Shaymin event will be the first I've gotten to go to. I plan on getting multiple Shaymin by transferring it over from diamond, starting a new game on diamond and repeating. Now, I have always felt cheating is wrong, and have never used it when playing with wi-fi, like competitive battling. I was wondering, however, if I were to use run through walls to get to jubilife and to oreburgh faster, if you guys would first consider the Shaymin hacked, and second, would you consider it morally wrong for me to do that, or would you find it ok?____________________________________________________________________Thanks, Jlizard27__________(sorry about these underscores, my spacing won't work on this site, so I have to use underscores to act as spaces, or what I would be using my return key for)

    It was obtained legitimately, so of course they canot be considered hacked. And it isn't particularly morally wrong either, since you're spending your own time obtaining them by legitimate means. And at the end of the day, you don't even have to tell people how you obtained all these shaymin, people don't really care in trading forums so long as they're legit and UT.

    I don't think it matter how get from place to place in the game, as long as the Shaymin is legit and the way you obatined it is not by hacking, then It's not immoral.

    A hacked Pokemon is defined as a Pokemon that wouldn't exist in your game without the assistance of an external device.

    Downloading a Wonder Card from an event location does not constitute hacking, regardless of however you get to the Poke Mart to pick up your new Pokemon.

    Moreso, no one would know you used Walk Through Walls to get there...or at least, they couldn't tell.

    As for it being "morally" wrong or right, I think that's kind of dumb. It's a video game. Whatever happens in your game is no one's business but your own. Now upon trading, someone can be as picky as they want and have every right to know how it was obtained. But if it stays in your game, no one should care.

    Yeah.... but I'm not too much into cloning, I think it's a bit different. I don't mind much when the GTS Glitch is used though.

    Sorry!!!, off topic. I'll stop =)

    The events seem to appear a few months after the movie though, at least from what I've seen. I may be wrong though.

    Where can I find out if a TRU near me is holding the Shaymin event?

    If it's a TRU it should be apart of the event. I don't think they pick certain ones. I know Gamestop does those. but I would call and ask as it gets close to the event.

    I'd be going to the TRU in Times Square. I imagine they'd be holding the event since they're one of the biggest TRUs.

    Yeah. I think it's a safe bet they'd have it.

    Speaking of the Nintendo World store, do they ever have anything special?

    Getting hopefully around 15 by the time it ends. Getting one on my Pearl, then using this process:
    Restarting DIamond, going through the game to get Mystery Gift, getting Shaymin, transferring Shaymin to pearl, and repeating.
